摘要：In written texts, spaces between chapters, paragraphs and other units of meaning normally express structural hierarchies and create semantic groupings. Spaces in texts demarcate the boundaries of words, headers and sub-headers, paragraphs and sections. They visually reinforce the conceptual organization of a given text, and at the same time facilitate the process of perception by guiding the eye and the mind of the reader. In linearly arranged literary texts, in particular poetry, the function of spaces between words, verses and stanzas is more complex, in that they also create rhythmical sequences and more subtle units of meaning within the parameters of regular syntactical structures. As Andrew M. Roberts et al. have shown, where poets use large spaces within the lines of lineated poetry, the spaces perform a role analogous to that of punctuation.2
